The 27th-ranked UNLV women's tennis team eked out all four three-set singles matches and ultimately shut out No. 48 Pennsylvania 7-0 at the Fertitta Tennis Complex. The Lady Rebels improved to 9-2 on the year, including 8-1 at home, and posted their second blanking of a ranked team this spring. The Lady Rebels host No. 30 Indiana today.

The Rebels evened their record at 5-5 overall and 4-0 at home this spring. The Golden Eagles fell to 3-5.

The Rebels will host North Carolina State today.

Dennis (10-3) only allowed UNLV (12-16) a base runner twice in the game. Kacey Ellis reached in the second after a misplayed ball by UVa shortstop Heather Field and later led off the fifth inning with an infield single. However, the Cavaliers (20-8) were able to keep the runner pinned at first both times.
